What the AI looks for in Distance Golf Balls
- Construction
- Look for a two-piece design with an ionomer or Surlyn cover. This build keeps driver spin low and makes the cover durable, which is what distance balls are for.
- Compression
- Match compression to your swing speed. Lower compression helps slow swings get airborne. Distance comes from compressing the ball efficiently, not from the label.
- Launch profile
- Choose a high-launch ball if your drives fly low. Too little height costs more carry than the ball design gains.
Brands that matter
- Titleist: Velocity is its distance line.
- Callaway: Warbird for durability and Supersoft for a soft feel.
- Srixon: Distance line, with Soft Feel one step up.
- Wilson: Budget soft-distance balls.
What to avoid
- Expecting a distance ball to stop quickly on greens.
- Distance claims with no swing-speed context.
